Question
Our 5/6 yearold cockateil has suddenly turned aggressive.He bites me (the Mom) and attacks anything that moves near his cage.There have been no changes in his diet,handling,attention, cagetoys, etc.He is eating , drinking and pooping normally.... What is up? He still whistles and talks....He is just pissed off at all of us,mainly,me.

Answer
Hello Angela and thank you for your post.
Just be patient with your bird.  It is breeding season and he is hormonal.  All but one of my male parrots are aggressive too, but it will pass.
Just keep trying to work with him, in a few weeks, he'll be back to his normal self.

Good luck and God Bless.
